Answer 1

To solve the problem step by step:

1. **Determine the pints of paint used for each painting**:
Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings:
\[
\text{Pints per painting} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting}
\]

2. **Determine how many paintings he can complete with 44 pints**:
Using the paint per painting (2.6 pints):
\[
\text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints per painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings}
\]
Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he can complete 16 full paintings.

3. **Determine how many pints he will need for 29 paintings**:
Using the paint per painting:
\[
\text{Pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints}
\]

Summarizing the findings:
- Pints per painting: **2.6**
- Number of paintings he can complete with 44 pints: **16.92** (or 16 full paintings)
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: **75.4**

From the options provided, the correct response is the third one:
- Pints/Paintings: 13, 5; 2.6, 1; 44, 16.92; 75.4, 29.
